NEVER ANSWER UNKNOWN TELEPHONE CALLS - THEY ARE ALWAYS SCAMS!
NEVER call the number back - by calling back, you assure the CRIMINALS that you have a working number - a number that can be sold to other CRIMINALS!
Please go to Amazon and check out the Panasonic phones that block 250 numbers. Also, check out the D*gitone call blocker that can block entire area codes and full telephone numbers - we have three of them - one on each of our land lines. We have had the 858 area code blocked for over a year. NO CALLS from the 858 area code can make our phones ring...not even once! CRIMINAL TELEMARKETERS often change a few digits in their telephone numbers but less rarely change area codes - not to worry, the D*gitone call blocker will stop them cold!
Currently, we have over 160 area codes blocked with at least 250 full telephone numbers blocked.
Should you have friends or family in a blocked area code - simply invite their number into your call blocker - they can call right through.
My phone system somehow recognized it as a spam phone number and shot it straight to voicemail. The automated message was about 1 minute 30 secs long, and talked about winning Disneyland tickets. It then asked for a credit card number to be "eligible" to receive the tickets. After receiving no voice input, it eventually disconnected itself by saying "Okay, sorry for the inconvenience. Have a nice day." What a very polite phone scam.
